Nostalrius Begins - Quality wow vanilla realm (1.12)

Hey guys. My pc specs are i7-930 GTX 560ti 8 gb ram.
Running windows 8.1.
Still can't understand why my fps in raids is around 35-40... When im standing in Ironforge near Bank in peak hours it sometimes drops below 30 (25-30)... Already tried to use https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/ ... edit#gid=0
This command from GUIDE to optimize my game. Still not works for me.
Any help about this? Cuz when im asking my guildies who's runnign windows 8.1 and almost same PC specs they are keep saying that their FPS in ironforge is around 50 + and they dont have lags in raids.

Also tried to run game without any addons. Same story. Same fps.

What's your in-game resolution? Are you using the latest Geforce drivers?

WoW has always been heavily CPU-bound and while your PC specs are orders of magnitude better than what was available when WoW was released in 2004 there are a few things to keep in mind. Firstly, Nostlarius is using the MANGOS core (i.e. to emulate the vanilla server side software stack) and the server hosts significantly more players than a vanilla server would have allowed back in 2004/2005. When WoW launched most players would have been playing at 800x600 to 1024x768 on a single core Intel Pentium 4 or Athlon XP with 512MB - 1GB of RAM. You would have needed a top-end rig to play at 1600x1200 with some AA back then.

I've played on a bunch of private servers and found that vanilla mangos servers seem to have the biggest performance impact on the same hardware relative to other emulations and retail WoW. I upgraded to an X99 system a few months ago but before that was running a 2.8GHz AMD Phenom II X6, 8GB RAM and a 3GB Radeon 280x with a 16:10 1920x1200 monitor. On retail WoW (well until mid-MoP when I finally quit ), Atlantiss (Cata private server), Dalaran (WotLK private server), and Excalibur (TBC private server) I'd typically get 80+ fps at 1920x1200 with max settings and 4x AA. However, on the Rebirth (vanilla private server) and Nostalrius I was getting fluctuating fps from 30-80+fps depending on the area. In IF on Nostalrius my fps could drop to 5-15 during peak times. I suspect that part of that was due to the Radeon drivers being optimised for more recent DX11 iterations of WoW rather than the DX9 path in vanilla. When I played on the Rebirth I had to revert to some fairly old Catalysts because more recent versions were causing graphics corruption in-game.

Ironforge and Orgrimmar at peak times can tax even a high end system today depending on the settings you play at because of the numbers of players in a condensed area. Even on my current rig (X99 5820k, 32GB RAM, 6GB Geforce 980GTX @ 2560x1440) I get fps drops down to 40-45s at times in Ironforge during peak times although it's otherwise always capped at 60fps (V-sync on).

You shouldn't really be getting sub 40fps with your rig in a 40-man raid though. It could be an errant addon causing slowdown or fixable by toning down a quality setting. While your CPU is still alright it's over 5 years old and depending on your other settings and how many other apps and programmes (e.g. Skype, Twitch, Chrome with 20+ tabs open, etc) it will probably struggle in high population areas like IF.

TLDR: Upgrade or overclock your CPU.

My resolution si 1920 x 1080. Already tried to turn off all addons and reduced all graphics.

Maybe it's because of windows 8?

Anyway i isntalled windows 7. Turned off Windowed mdoe in wow. Now playing with timeOverrideMode. Seems fps sutuation alot better now. At least im now getting instant fps drops in Ironforge atm. Will test it on peak time.
